I've done a lot of backpacking in the High Uintas and a bit along the Mirror Lake Highway, but amazingly enough I've never done one of the more popular day hikes in that area-- Notch Mountain. I plan to hike Bald Mountain with my kids this weekend and would like to do The Notch if time allows. My kids range from age 6 to 15, and they're fairly adept in the outdoors.
Most online resources I've looked at describe the Notch Mountain Trail from Bald Mountain to Trial or from Crystal Lake up and over, so the trail info-- particularly duration and mileage-- reflect a longer hike than I'm planning for. Can somebody provide a comparison of routes (from Bald vs from Crystal Lake TH)? Would either of them accommodate roughly a 4 hour window?
